he was so alone
and no one cared

because they didn't realise
how much it damaged him

.

they didn't know about
the long
restless nights
he stayed awake through
wondering whether
he was even
worth anything

they didn't know about
the constant
draining feeling
that was always
inside him

...

and
they didn't
know
that he was laying
on his bathroom floor
with pills
spread out across the bench
and a letter
saying
i'm sorry
